Opposition leader Ramesh Chennithala has alleged corruption to the tune of crores in the allocation of a distillery and three breweries. He said it is not salary challenge but brewery challenge that is taking place in the state.
He alleged the allocation is purely with the knowledge and connivance of Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan and Excise Minister T P Ramakrishnan.“This is in blatant violation of the existing norms and the government has not mentioned this in the excise policy or in governor’s policy speech. There was no mention of this even in the LDF election manifesto.
